Anxiety over sleeping

So I've had episodes of acid reflux throughout my pregnancy. To the point of waking up choking on acid, throwing up, coughing up acid. Well it's gotten so bad the last few nights I am scared to even go to sleep and literally had a panic attack over it just now. It doesn't matter where I sleep or how much I prop up I still have the episodes. I'm already on prescription meds for heartburn and have tried everything in the book for it but there's been no relief. I'm just exhausted and sleepy and I wanna go to bed so bad. But I know in about 30-45 min of sleep, once my body relaxes, I wake up choking very badly on acid. Which then causes me to be miserable the remainder of the night and following days. My husband is asleep so I just wanted to vent 😁😖❤️

Sorry dear...just try watch what you eat. Don't eat too late at night or before bed...and pls chew gum, chewing gum helps produce more saliva which will help nullify the acid...there is no real cute or solution for this problem, just try and prevent it by watching what you eat...

Ive been having this problem for 6 weeks now. So frustrating that my doctor cant come up with something to ease it a little. I tried sleeping a few hours ago and it didnt go well, so im in the same boat. The only thing that has helped me is drinking pepsi. I know you arent supposed to have caffeine but just sipping on a glass of pepsi throughout the night helps me.
